TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the field of washing devices andparticularly relates to a washing feeding device applied to a washingmachine.

BACKGROUND

A washing feeding device of a washing machine is installed on a machinebody. A feeding chamber or a liquid storage chamber is arranged on thewashing feeding device to make a user add a washing additive to thefeeding chamber or the liquid storage chamber manually, and then inletwater of the washing machine is used to flush the added washing additiveto a water holding container of the washing machine. The current washingadditive generally has two forms: one is washing powder in a solid shapeand the other is a liquid detergent, a disinfectant, a softener and thelike.

Washing powder in a powder shape is generally placed into a chamberdirectly. After washing is started, the inlet water can be used todirectly flush the washing powder away. However, only when a liquidwashing additive is fed in a closed space, can it ensure that theadditive is firstly diluted by flowing water in a washing process andthen the diluted additive is washed away.

At present, the washing feeding device, in order to respectively feeddifferent forms of washing additives, generally adopts the followingmanner: the washing powder in a powder shape and the liquid washingadditives are respectively fed by different feeding chambers, requiringthat corresponding structures are installed accordingly in thecorresponding feeding chambers.

Therefore, how to set an adjusting structure in one feeding chamber tomake the feeding chamber simultaneously feed the solid and liquidwashing additives has become a hot research and development issue.Meanwhile, how to ensure reduction of residue of the washing additivesin the feeding chambers after the adjusting structures are added hasalso become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

In view of this, the present disclosure is proposed.

A bottom of the feeding chamber 1 is provided with awater outlet 11 communicating with the water box 200. An inlet waterflow of a washing machine flows into the feeding chamber 1, so that thedetergent and/or the washing powder added to the feeding box 100 are/isflushed into the water box 200 by the water outlet 11 through an effectof the inlet water. A baffle board 4 for preventing the water fromflowing to the water outlet 11 is installed in the feeding chamber 1. Asiphon 5 for communicating two sides of baffle board is arranged on thebaffle board 4. At an upstream side of the baffle board 4, the detergentfed to the water box 200 from the feeding box 100 and the inlet waterare blocked by the baffle board 4 to be accumulated until reaching aliquid level for triggering a siphonic effect, then flow to a downstreamside of the baffle board through the siphon 5, and finally flow out fromthe water box 200 through the water outlet.

By the above arrangement, the detergent added into the feeding chamberby the user can be blocked by the baffle board, thereby preventing thedetergent which is not diluted by water from directly flowing into thewater box, further realizing the purposes of improving detergentdiluting efficiency and enlarging a detergent distribution range.

In the present embodiment, the feeding box 100 can be installed in thewater box 200 in a horizontal pulling manner. The baffle board 4 isvertically arranged in middle of the feeding chamber 1.

Water of the water inlet flow channels 192flows into the airtight chamber, and then water can flow to the interiorof the water box 200 through the through hole 195. Since the inside ofthe airtight chamber is an entire communicating area, water leaking fromany position of the inner rib plates 20 can flow into the feeding box100 through the through hole 195, thereby avoiding potential risk ofwater leakage. After the inner rib plates 20 and the outer rib plates 21of the upper cover 17 and the lower cover 19 are welded, pressure testcan also be performed on the airtight chamber through the through hole195 to detect whether there is a crack at the welding position.

In the embodiment, a plurality of mounting plates is arranged at theperiphery of the lower cover 19, and mounting holes are formed in themounting plates. Threaded holes opposite to the mounting plates areformed in the water box 200. The lower cover 19 is detachably installedon the top of the water box 200. A holding chamber is formed between thewater box 200 and the cover plate, and an opening is formed in one sideof the holding chamber. Two mutually parallel sliding rails are arrangedon a side wall of the holding chamber. The feeding box 100 is pulled inand out from the opening of the holding chamber along extendingdirections of the sliding rails.
